Carers Rights Day 2013 - Call to Action
- 1. Call To Action Accountable Officer: Louise Patten Chair: Dr Graham Jackson
- 2. The NHS: A Call to Action • A National programme of engagement to enable everyone to contribute to the debate about the future of health and care provision in England • The engagement will be patient and public-centred through local, regional and national events as well as through on-line and digital resources • It will produce meaningful views, data and information that the CCG can use to develop 3-5 year commissioning plans To build an excellent NHS, now and for Future Generations Accountable Officer: Louise Patten Chair: Dr Graham Jackson
- 3. Every day the NHS saves lives and helps people stay well, but 65 years ago, many people faced choosing between poverty if they fell seriously ill or forgoing care altogether. Today: • The NHS treats 1,000,000 people every 36 hours • Between 1990 and 2010, life expectancy in England increased by 4.2 years • 88% of patients in the UK described the quality of care they received as excellent or very good Accountable Officer: Louise Patten Chair: Dr Graham Jackson
- 4. If the NHS is to survive another 65 years, it must change. There are a number of future pressures that threaten to overwhelm the NHS:• The population is ageing and we are seeing a significant increase in the number of people with long-term conditions • The resulting increase in demand combined with rising costs threatens the financial stability and sustainability of the NHS Accountable Officer: Louise Patten Chair: Dr Graham Jackson
- 5. Preserving the values that underpin a universal health service, free at the point of use, will mean fundamental changes to how we deliver and use health care services. This is NOT about unnecessary structural changes, it is about finding ways to do things differently:• Harnessing technology to fundamentally improve productivity • Putting people in charge of their own health and care • Integrating more health and care services • And more… Accountable Officer: Louise Patten Chair: Dr Graham Jackson
